About me
I love my life and am amazed at how much I am enjoying getting older. I never would have believed that being 54 would be something exciting yet it is! I am a huge believer in spreading kindness and being compassionate. I can only work very part time for health reasons and talk openly about living with mental illness as I believe that we need to reduce the shame and fear of telling others we are struggling. I love my career and am thankful that after almost 30 years of working in the mental health field, I am as passionate about it as when I started. I cry easily and feel no shame about this. I have experienced some incredibly painful things in my life and these all have helped shape me into the person I am. Hopefully others see me as kind and caring. :) I have Indian heritage and find it frustrating that so many 'nude'skin products are aimed primarily at people with much lighter skin than mine. This is actually a problem with a lot of skincare and makeup items. So many of the gwp and beauty boxes etc include tanning products or bronzers or other items that are not relevant for darker skinned people. For my age, and definitely in part due to having great family genes, I am often told that I look much younger than I am. However I am starting to notice fine lines in my forehead and around my eyes and dark circles and some patchy skin on my face. I also feel that my hands show my age a lot so always have tubes of handcream with me however am still looking for the perfect one. I am also a lifelong nailbiter which sucks so my nails and cuticles look awful. My hair is going grey at a frustratingly slow pace lol. I wish it was either totally grey or just a tiny bit grey, not this weird in between thing I have going on. I am attempting to let the greys grow out and show more so the hairdresser lightened my hair to match the greys. The only trouble is that I still have some dark hair growing so it looks a bit weird :) I like to emphasise my eyes using eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadows and love the smoky eye. I mostly wear darker browns and blacks but also love a pop of blue eyeshadow to mix things up. And yes, I adore pandas!!!! <3Age range

not enough for my skin
I tried a tester of this in a chemist and based upon how well it absorbed and how my hand looked immediately afterwards, bought the pump pack. I used this day and night for about 2 weeks solid and finally... Read full review

Surprisingly pleased with this
I generally would have walked past this range of shopping for a facial moisturiser and headed for a brand I have used in the past. Thankfully, I received this in one of the Priceline skincare bags and even better,it was... Read full review
